Is there a way to successfully create a working Briefcase on Samba shares? When I create one in a Samba share, it has a regular folder icon with a desktop.ini file in it. Openning it reveals a plain folder rather than the usual Briefcase applet. When I create one on a Windows NT network share it works fine, but all our big filesystems are unix-based Samba shares rather than NT shares. -Ernie

Hi, thank your for your answer. > Are the 'File servers' joined to the domain ? Yes > Are the smb.conf files you posted complete No, they are abstracted ones, because they are very long > if not, can you post the complete ones, exactly as they are on the computers (you can sanitize them if you need to) Yes > Try taking a look here:

Dear All, I've been upgrade from 3.6.x to 4.1.x (Member server) All Win 7 Pro 64. While in 3.6.x there is no such report on the issue,just people complain about the slowness While in 4.1.x there are random report on this issue not everyone but more to a particular person... That seem to be happening from 4.1.6, 4.1.11 and 4.1.12 And I've really no idea why or how. Any suggestion to

Hi, I've seeing the following error messages recorded in logwatch against samba in two FC6 XA-64 systems with samba 3.0.24-7. lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(603) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (24 - 23) in safe_strcpy The main share in use on the first machine is via the guest account with Vista and XP clients, the other has more conventional shares with the Vista PC's as domain members

Hi all, I've just realised Samba doesn't appear to support M$ Briefcases, which is a bit of a shame as I've just designed an Access Database system that needs to replicate between Servers on five sites, and we've just converted the client's NT Servers to Linux Samba Servers.... (now, finally, things work properly!!) So, presuming there is a God up there somewhere.... can

hallo! I'm trying to place a file coming from a samba share into my local briefcase on my win98/ME machines. it works with the same share on my winNT box. when I move the file from the mounted volume to the briefcase I don't get any error messages, but the file doesn't show up in the briefcase?! my setup: local PC with winME, briefcase on desktop, samba (userlevel-)share mounted as

Hi, I have a Samba 2.2.3a-6 server running on top of Debian Woody. There are two things I still have problems with. Number one is case mangling. I have set "mangle case = Yes" in [global] and left all other options related to case at their default and it works to some extent. But for example I cannot rename "whatever.txt" to "WhatEver.txt". The way it works is

Hello there, I'm running 2.2.5 compiled with ACL and LDAP auth. The PDC used to work flawlessly using smbpasswd but I want to dual boot the workstations to Linux so I need a centralized LDAP authentication repository. Once I reinstalled the LDAPized samba I started populating the directory with the "well-known" identities using the smbldap tools (bear in mind I'm more of a

Hello everyone... I have been using Samba v1.9.16p11 for a little while now and I just noticed that when I create a Windows 95 Briefcase on a Samba drive it appears as a folder (directory). This also happens when I move a briefcase created on a local drive to the network. I admit a small degree of ignorance here because I do not have an NT box to test the setup with so I do not know if this is

Hi, I've a samba 3.0.24 server running in a debian "alike" OS with a (Open)LDAP backend and I'm having the following problem: I have LDAP users that belong to more than one (POSIX) group. For instance, I have a user2 that belongs to group "users" and "grupo2" and I have a share with the following ACL settings: getfacl /home/shares/share1/ getfacl: Removing

Hi everyone! I am using OpenSuse 10.3 with desktop effect compiz-fusion and wine 0.9.57! I have installed counter strike 1.6 with wine and everything went fine.

Me again... :) Despite all of the comments made in favor of the .OGG extension, I'm still going to have to side with the "different extension" camp. There are a number of reasons for this... First off... from where I'm sitting, it doesn't matter how much of a grey-area you get into, I can't think of a single scenario where you wouldn't be able to say that it was

This may be, or may not be a security issue, however, since alot of people still use tripwire-1.2 or lesser versions(this is what shipped with R.H. Linux 5.2 at least), they might be interested in following detail: Chuck Campbell (campbell@neosoft.com) pointed me out that tripwire dies with coredump on R.H. linux, if it hits a filename containing 128-255 characters. Playing a bit with debugger I

Folks, I'm setting up to sync files from a staging env to a prodution env, such that the filesystems for both are served via nfs to their respective systems. Thus, I can do the rsync on the nfs server as a 'advanced cp'. rsnyc $parms filessystem filesystem2 Due to ownerships and permissions, I have to run this as root, but, I'd like the files to belong to another user and

Hi all. Many KUDOS to the Samba development team! I am trying to interpret some performance testing results, and could use some hela, and any possible Samba tuning suggestions. Oplocks are turned on, BTW, which has caused the Samba performance results to come WAY up compared to with prior Samba releases. The following test results consist of the time to perform database queries using a Borland
